AutoCanada adds 7,540 square feet of collision capacity with Southgate Facility

AutoCanada has expanded its collision repair platform in Edmonton with the acquisition of Doug’s Place Southgate. The company says the addition increases local capacity and strengthens OEM‑certified repair capabilities across the market.

Doug’s Place Southgate adds approximately 7,540 square feet of collision repair capacity and holds certifications across 10 OEM brands, including Honda, Acura, Stellantis, Ford, Kia, Nissan and Toyota. The facility also maintains Direct Repair Programs with TD Insurance, Intact, Co‑operators, Definity and the Alberta Motor Association.

“The addition of Doug’s Place Southgate is an excellent strategic fit that enhances the efficiency of our overall Edmonton platform by adding much‑needed capacity in close proximity to our existing footprint,” said Samuel Cochrane, Chief Executive Officer of AutoCanada. “The acquisition advances our strategic focus on the collision business and directs additional capital toward assets where we have a demonstrated advantage and clear opportunities to create value.”

AutoCanada says the Southgate location complements its Edmonton network by adding dedicated non‑luxury repair capacity near six franchised dealerships, improving the company’s ability to capture referral volume. The facility will continue operating with its existing team while leveraging AutoCanada’s national platform, insurer relationships and OEM partnerships.
